Scenic City Cafe: Volume One

Riveting, raw and macabre. Three words that sum up the collection of short stories you will find in AL Gates' Scenic City Caf , where life (and death) are not always what they seem. His beloved Chattanooga, TN is often the backdrop for these stories, several of which have been published in writing journals, and one, "The Chase", is a Chattanooga Writers Guild award-winner.

Oh, and you may not want to be in the house alone...
